    arrest journalists

    Wait, didn’t the Saudis kill and chop a journalist into little pieces for criticizing MBS? I guess they didn’t technically arrest him, though.

    Yep, same mod who was being a PTB in c/Palestine a month or so back. So many people back then were defending him because ‘it was a sensitive topic for some’.

    PTB. .ml should recruit Miqlāh* as an admin, he behaves exactly the same as them:

    • The rules being listed are not the rules you’re expected to follow.
    • Going out of his way to misinterpret what others say, while dishonestly putting words in their mouth.
    • “But what about…” all the time.
    • Unreasonably long bans that scream “ackshyually I didn’t permaban you!” from a distance.

    *inb4 this is a joke, don’t think too hard on it.

      There needs to be a community called “Rule 1” where everything anyone posts is removed. For authenticity, the mods will be mute and powerless and the admins of the hosting instance will do all the removals.

      Wait… never mind, I think I just re-created .ml.

    lol I just ate a ban too for pointing out an uncomfortable truth. PTB for sure. They’re equating George Floyd’s murder with state sanctioned public beheadings…

    Derek Chauvin is in jail for second degree murder. The officers that assisted him were also convicted of accessories to manslaughter. I’m also not going to bat for the police in the US because they by and large suck.

    Crazy how two things can be a problem at the same time, I know!
